Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 21 March 2017
603. Deputy Richard Boyd Barrett asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade further to Parliamentary Question No. 268 of 23 February 2017, if he can provide details with regard to the one member of staff currently suspended in his Department, in tabular form (details supplied). [14058/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraFurther to parliamentary question 268 of 23 February 2017, I confirm that there is one such case in my Department. It would not be appropriate for my Department to provide the additional details requested as so doing could potentially identify the individual in question. My Department applies the provisions of Department of Public Expenditure and Reform circulars in relation to investigations, including that all civil servants must be treated in a fair and equitable manner in accordance with the principles of natural justice.
